100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

Who?

I don't know anyone by that name.

"Keum Seo-hee."

Don't you know what that name means to So-ran?

Her husband,

the man you met today,

refused to turn in his comrades.

That's why Sato killed his daughter.

Right in front of So-ran's eyes.

Even if our cause doesn't make sense to you,

think about So-ran.

Can't you understand her goal?

I know you think it's crazy.

But if one lost their beloved child overnight,

anyone would have done the same.

Please.

Try to understand So-ran.

Out of the way. Traitors are dealt with. Remember?

We need to bring her back.

Why would we do that?

We need to tie up loose ends.

She did her job as a spy properly.

Why should we kill her?

We're the ones who didn't trust her.

She just said she's out.

If she goes running her mouth--

She has no intention of betraying us.

She said she's scared of getting caught and killed.

That means betraying us to save herself isn't even on her mind.

She's terrified of dying

if her cover is blown.

But even in that situation, turning on us isn't an option for her.

Don't you get it?

She's the spy we sent to kill Sato.

We shouldn't be trying to kill her right now.

We should be trying to convince her to come back.

Just this once.

I won't try to persuade her again.

Hideo.

Hanako?

Hanako.

-Hanako. -Hideo.

Hanako.

Hideo must be tired. He needs some rest--

Let go!

Hideo.

I wrote all the capital letters.

Look.

Hanako, I'm sorry.

I'm a bit tired today. How about next time?

Next time? When?

You always come home late.

Look. I memorized all the capital letters.

Hanako.

Maybe tomorrow. I promise I'll look.

You're a liar!

You always come late, and you always say, "Maybe tomorrow."

You're not going to keep your promise!

I need some space today, okay?

I hate you!

Don't worry about Hanako.

I'll go check on her.

Good night.

You insolent Josenjing!

Come in.

Father.

Well done.

Sorry?

What do you mean?

Even if you're slapped,

a true Japanese must show no emotion.

Sit upright, Hideo.

Japanese people don't sit like that.

From now on, never let your thoughts or feelings

show on your face.

That's what makes you Japanese

and my son.

Do you understand, Hideo?

Answer me.

Yes, Father.

Father.

Well done.

Thank you.

You didn't think Fukuda would get much out of questioning him,

did you?

No.

Interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee was called in

and didn't return for seven hours.

If it'd gone well, it wouldn't have taken that long.

You have a point.

Keum Seo-hee.

Yes?

Did you make sure she won't speak?

If Yoo Philip writes an article, it'll be a problem.

Okay.

She's going to rely on you a lot.

Even if she's dating an American reporter,

she's one of the few women in the Government-General

and a Joseon person at that.

I don't really follow…

I assume everything she sees, hears, and thinks

is passed on to Mr. Yoo.

Get her to rely on you

and trust you.

But keep this in mind.

She needs to trust you,

but you must never trust her.

Joseon people are an untrustworthy bunch.

And Joseon women

are bound to betray us.

That's exactly what your mother did.

She promised to spend her life with me,

only to leave me.

I know you think it's crazy.

But if one lost their beloved child overnight,

anyone would have done the same.

Anyone…

Her damn mother

dumped her own kid to sleep around with a Jap.

-A Jap? -With a Jap…

When my mom left me…

I resented her a lot, naturally.

But as time went on, I started telling myself…

that my mom

had just found someone she loved more,

but that she still loved me too.

So…

I was just a little unlucky.

I wasn't a pitiful kid.

That's what I've believed all this time.

But seeing you,

I find myself a little jealous of Seo-hee.

Because her mother is willing to risk her life

for her daughter.

Did you sleep well?

Assassinating the inspector general.

How long will you need? If you move quickly.

A month.

All right, one month.

That's it.

After one month,

send me to America, no matter what.

Okay.

I promise.

Thank you.

Just one month. Don't forget.

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

JONGNO POLICE STATION

EPISODE 6

Zip it!

Still alive?

They're like cockroaches.

I looked into the thing you asked about.

I managed to get in touch with the Gugukdan.

It turns out the Gugukdan was planning to kill Sato

that very day we went to the American reporter's house.

I'm not sure if the American reporter was part of the Gugukdan,

but I did find out one thing.

They've got a female sniper in their group.

They say she's as good as Nam Ja-hyeon.

But I don't know her name or any details.

Did you know your fellow members were killed in Dongsung-dong?

You're all set.

Thank you.

So, about that man.

Seo-hee's father.

I'll find a way.

Find a way for what?

He tried to assassinate the inspector general of the Government-General.

We know how the trial will end.

Even if he's lucky enough to avoid execution,

how long can he hold out with those injuries?

Even perfectly healthy men

come out of that prison in body bags.

We don't have time to waste.

We have to act now to keep them from torturing him.

I'll go talk to Sato.

-Once I meet him-- -Once you do,

what are you planning to do?

I'll tell him I'm interested in the Kyeam-ri incident.

I could ask to speak with one of the prisoners.

Once that happens, even Sato will have to think twice before acting.

What Sato wants to hide the most

is the Kyeam-ri massacre being brought back into the spotlight.

The mastermind of the Kyeam-ri massacre, Sato,

no, Ishikawa,

leveraged his in-laws' connections to become the inspector general.

He even took his wife's family name, Sato, to claw his way up to the top.

So, with the world's eyes on Japan right now because of Manchukuo,

if Sato thinks I might publish the Kyeam-ri story--

And then what?

What difference will it make?

If the foreign press picks it up with Manchukuo at stake,

Sato might have to step down as inspector general.

But even if that happens,

is that what we're fighting for?

Is that enough?

If I kill Sato, I can die with no regrets.

But remember, that's when your fight begins.

You pledged to expose the truth

about Japan's and Sato's atrocities under your name

and make sure the whole world sees it.

So until then, you have to maintain good terms

with the Government-General as an American journalist.

If Sato realizes he was one of the victims from the Kyeam-ri massacre,

there's a chance he'll find out who I am.

He'll probably keep quiet,

but you never know.

So leave that to fate and don't do anything.

Even if he dies in prison,

there's nothing we can do.

But, So-ran, he's your husband.

No.

You are my husband.

SATO HIDEO KEUM SEO-HEE

Win Sato Hideo's heart.

Get him on your side.

The inspector general keeps people at arm's length.

But Sato Hideo is one of the few people close to him.

All right.

But remember.

Never let yourself have personal feelings.

Don't worry.

That's never going to happen.

Hello…

Get her to rely on you

and trust you.

But keep this in mind.

She needs to trust you,

but you must never trust her.

There's nothing special.

What is that?

You're here?

"The inspector general's secretary."

"Yamada Hanako."

"The niece of the Internal Affairs Bureau director."

"She can't speak the Joseon language."

"Sloppy with work."

"A good kid at heart."

"She seems to have a crush on Sato Hideo."

Wait, why on earth?

Hello.

Ms. Yamada, the inspector general's secretary?

Yes.

Is Mr. Sato in?

He hasn't come in yet.

Not yet?

When will he be in?

Well, I'm not sure.

Should I tell him you stopped by?

No.

Just give him this.

We received a lot of cookies at the Inspector General's Office.

Please give these to Mr. Sato.

Sure. I'll make sure he gets them.

Thank you.

Just one.

LADIES' ROOM

He says he can't put up with this.

NO ENTRY

Go ahead.

Translate it.

The Joseon workers are being worked too hard,

and they're falling ill one after another.

He says pushing them too hard to meet the deadline

will backfire on us.

So he wants their working hours reduced

and enough time for rest.

How many hours a day are they working?

Fourteen hours. It's been three months straight without a day off.

Cut their hours by an hour every other day.

But…

if they miss the deadline,

they'll be held accountable.

Got it.

Well, then.

Let's go.

Interpreter Sato.

Yes, sir.

Did you interpret that correctly today?

What makes you think I didn't?

All right, I trust you.

Have the workers work an hour longer every day.

Father.

Why should we go easy on them?

They must meet the deadline.

That's an order,

Interpreter Sato.

INTERPRETER SATO HIDEO

You're here?

I was doing some cleaning.

You weren't coming, and I had nothing else to do.

So I figured I might as well clean.

By the way, where have you been?

I was worried since you didn't come in without a word.

Look at all this dust.

If I don't wipe it down,

we'll end up breathing all of it in.

Ms. Keum.

Yes?

Yesterday was hard on you, wasn't it?

Sorry?

You won't be called in for anything like that again.

It's okay. I wouldn't mind doing it again.

What?

When I got home and thought about it,

I realized I was angry at him.

I nearly died because of him too.

I was startled,

but that was because I faced the man who tried to kill me before.

I'm okay now.

Just a little tired.

If I get called up for another interrogation,

I want to do a better job.

I didn't mention anything to Mr. Yoo, as you asked,

so don't worry.

Oh, one more thing.

You haven't found that Jongno Pawnshop yet, have you?

I'll help you find it.

I know Jongno like the back of my hand.

You can count on me.

I'll help you.

No thanks.

What?

I don't need your help.

I can take care of my own business. Just give me the pawn ticket you stole.

I've played along with your game long enough now.

Now bring me my pawn ticket.

Come in.

Excuse me.

The chief of police sent me to bring Ms. Keum Seo-hee to Jongno Police Station.

It's for the interrogation of the same person from yesterday.

Good for you.

Have a nice time.

You said you wanted to do better next time.

Well, actually…

he told me to bring you along as well, sir.

Chief.

I thought we'd agreed that the Foreign Affairs Division

would no longer provide interpreters for interrogations.

We tried another interpreter, but he kept asking for Keum Seo-hee.

What else could I do?

Did you two hit it off yesterday while I wasn't looking?

That is completely inappropriate, Chief.

Otherwise,

why would he be asking for Keum Seo-hee?

We already have an interpreter at the station.

So why ask for her?

You asked for Ms. Keum yourself yesterday as well,

when there's an interpreter here.

Didn't you?

We'll just have to find out why he specifically requested

interpreter trainee Keum Seo-hee.

Fair enough.

The inspector general heard about this

and ordered Interpreter Sato to sit in

to ensure the interrogation goes smoothly.

I'm truly touched

by his thoughtfulness.

My goodness.

Tell me about it.

Mr. Sato kindly joined me today.

I think I'll be able to do a better job interpreting.

Interpreter Sato Hideo

speaks Japanese, English, and the Joseon language, so…

I'm sorry.

I accidentally used the Joseon language in front of you.

I just said Interpreter Sato Hideo

can speak Japanese, English, and the Joseon language.

Of course. He's an interpreter, after all.

Yes, that's right.

Since Interpreter Sato Hideo speaks the Joseon language fluently,

I'll need to be extra careful with my interpretation.

He'll catch any mistakes right away.

Let's begin.

Yes, sir.

No, I'll observe from the back.

Your name?

What's your name?

Let me ask you again. What's your name?

He's asking you again.

What's your name?

I granted your request, so shouldn't you cooperate?

I brought your interpreter.

-I'll ask you again. What's your name? -Answer him.

What's your name?

E…

Go on.

Tell me, what's your name?

Eat…

shit.

You son of a bitch!

Typical Josenjing.

You just run that filthy mouth of yours.

You lot are all the same, Josenjing.

You can try to hide what's inside,

but you stink in the end.

It always gives you away, Josenjings.

Chief, we brought her here.

Oh yeah?

-Go ahead. -Yes, sir.

Na Byeong-sun, you have a visitor.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey!

Forgive us.

Please forgive us!

Honey.

Honey.

Please forgive us.

Honey!

Young-bok.

Why are you up?

You need to stay in bed.

I'm fine.

I'll go to my room now.

No, don't worry.

My dad has no idea.

The floor must be uncomfortable. You can't sleep well on the floor.

Fine.

Have some pine-nut porridge before you go.

No, thank you.

I'll just take this.

Well, then.

Thank you.

You silly fool.

Do you think I couldn't sleep because I was on the floor?

Oh my, the bandages.

DON'T YOU DARE DIE

Please, have some.

Thanks.

How is the pneumatic tube project coming along?

We're in the final stretch.

Thank you once again for your generous donation.

It brings immense pride to my family.

It was my lifelong regret that I couldn't contribute

even a single brick when this building was being built.

I'm sure you're here to see how the tube installation is going.

You should have a look. It's on the first floor.

Wait, Inspector General.

Well…

Here.

This is my daughter.

I was hoping I could have dinner at home tonight.

Chief.

May I try speaking with him in our language?

We're both Joseon people,

so I'll see if I can convince him to talk.

What are you people plotting, speaking your language behind my back?

That's right.

Why don't you two Joseon people have an intimate conversation?

Should I get you a room?

Chief!

There's no need to worry.

Even if you don't trust me,

Interpreter Sato here speaks the Joseon language,

and he's keeping an eye on us.

Fine, let's see what you can do.

Thank you, sir.

When you

snuck into the house as a deliveryman,

I was the live-in maid there.

You pointed a gun at me that day.

If you'd ever tried to kill my madam,

I would've found a way to stop you.

That is, if you'd tried to kill her.

She's Chinese, so she doesn't speak the Joseon language very well.

But she's really good to me.

She gave me the pretty name Keum Seo-hee.

I wonder

how she came up with such a pretty name for me.

Anyway, I'm completely on her side.

Hey.

You're dragging this out.

What are you saying?

I'm sorry.

I was making small talk to get him to open up.

Did you know your fellow members were killed in Dongsung-dong?

Yesterday, in Dongsung-dong…

Did he just say Dongsung-dong?

He's finally talking.

What is he saying?

What happened to the people who got away?

I heard they'd been shot.

What's he saying?

He's asking what happened to those who were wounded and escaped

yesterday in Dongsung-dong.

I'll try to get him

to talk about something else.

Fine.

You want to know if your comrades who fled yesterday are safe, right?

Of course. I understand how you feel.

Whenever something dangerous happens,

I immediately worry about my madam first.

When she saw me off this morning,

I just hoped she'd stay safe and live a long life.

Chief, his accomplice gave us his name.

Is that so?

How did you get it out of him?

We snapped his wife's leg.

You broke her leg?

You damn monsters!

What? He speaks Japanese just fine!

Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore.

-So, what's his name? -Yes.

His name is Keum Seok-jung.

He's from Kyeam-ri, Suwon.

Kyeam-ri?

Yes, these two are childhood friends from their hometown in Kyeam-ri.

That'll be all for today.

We haven't found anything out.

He seems fluent in Japanese. We don't need an interpreter anymore.

Take these two home in my car.

Yes, sir.

Let's go, Ms. Keum.

Okay.

Keum Seo-hee.

Is your madam

really that good to you?

-Shut up! -On your way home,

buy a castella cake.

Shut up!

You need to leave.

My daughter is so bright and frugal.

Our butler has been staying in bed because of a cold

and took three days off.

She made sure to remind me to deduct three days from his paycheck.

She's that kind of girl.

Sir, the chief of police is on the phone.

He says it's urgent.

Excuse me for a moment.

Sure.

What is it?

What?

What did he say at the end?

I couldn't hear him.

You couldn't hear him?

I was going to ask what he said.

But I got kicked out.

Got it.

So…

What's going to happen to him now?

He'll be put on trial.

How many years is he going to get?

An attempted assassination alone would get him at least ten years.

On top of that, he killed and wounded several police officers.

He seriously injured my predecessor, Mr. Suzuki,

and tried to kill you too.

He could very well be sentenced to death.

By the way, isn't Keum Seo-hee your real name?

What?

Then what's your real name?

Lee…

Gae-ttong.

-What? -That's my real name.

Lee Gae-ttong.

But now I'm Keum Seo-hee.

Please, don't tell anyone at the Government-General about my name.

Promise me.

And that's how you repay someone who's been so good to you?

What did I do?

You don't know anything about my relationship with her.

I know more than enough.

You're having an affair behind someone who's good to you.

You confessed your feelings to another man behind your lover's back.

Who knows that better than I do?

You seem really hung up on what I said.

Wouldn't it bother you if you were in my shoes?

You say things like that to anyone, so I suppose it means nothing--

I don't say that to just anyone.

I only said it to you. For the first time in my life.

So are you saying…

Mr. Yoo is seeing someone who doesn't even like him?

Why are you so upset?

What?

Does it bother you that a woman who's having an affair likes you?

Is that why you're so offended?

Or maybe,

do you hate the thought of me

being with Mr. Yoo?

Should I stop seeing him?

If you tell me to, I will.

Will you believe my feelings are genuine then?

If I stop seeing Mr. Yoo,

I'll be fired from the Government-General, get thrown out on the street,

and might never see you again.

I'd hate not to see you again,

but if that's what you want, I'll do it.

Should I

end things with Mr. Yoo?

If I do,

will you accept how I feel about you?

Should I break up with him?

Yes.

Sounds good.

While we're at it, let's go see Mr. Yoo now.

Break up with him there. Let's go. Lead the way.

Come on.

What's wrong?

Can't you do it?

See? You can't break up with him.

If you never meant it,

how could you talk about breaking up that easily?

Well, of course,

saying you like someone is a game to you.

Watch what you say.

Me?

Weren't you the one who spoke without thinking?

You don't mean a word you say, but you go, "I like you" or "Should I break up?"

People like you make me sick.

People who throw words around…

with no intention of standing by them.

Welcome, sir!

Is he here?

Yes, sir.

You must've waited a long time to see me alone.

Are you happy now?

Keum Seok-jung.

Has it been 13 years?

Seeing you again,

I think I remember you.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki.

A mass murderer.

You killed my family, my friends,

and everyone in my village, then burned them all.

You're a mass murderer.

Mass murder?

I was simply carrying out my official duty.

I was putting down a riot.

A riot?

All we did was peacefully cry out for our independence.

We demanded our stolen nation back.

And what did you do?

You locked us up.

You shot us and burned us alive.

In retaliation for the independence movement.

Retaliation?

No.

Japan doesn't have time

to bother with retaliating against uncivilized Joseon people.

I was cleared of all charges in court.

I guess you never saw the verdict.

Are you denying everything you ordered with your own mouth?

Aren't you afraid of being haunted

by those who died that day?

Imagine how much your wife resented you.

Did it ever cross your mind that it was all your fault?

Have you never thought about how all those people who died that day

must resent you?

If you hadn't lured those naive people into your little independence protest,

they'd all still be alive.

And you'd still be with your family,

enjoying a happy life together.

Happy?

Did you just say "happy"?

In a country that's been stolen from us?

Happy?

Those were gunshots, right?

They must've been quite the loving couple,

dying side by side at the same time.

You know, your friend from Kyeam-ri.

What was his name?

Na…

Na whatever-his-name-was?

Ishikawa!

Aren't you afraid of karma?

Mark my words!

You will pay dearly for what you've done.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to kill you.

Your cause of death…

will be an illness.

Fukuda!

Ms. Keum.

Listen to me carefully.

Whatever you're assuming, you've got it wrong.

He's going to face trial, which will take months.

So…

Ms. Keum!

Keum Seo-hee!

Interpreter Trainee Keum.

Great work interpreting the interrogation today.

But I have some bad news.

The suspect just died.

It looks like his gunshot wound led to sepsis.

I see.

That's a shame.

What a weak man he was.

If you'll excuse me.

The chief of police told me to drive you both home.

Get in.

They'll take you home.

I'm okay.

I'll go on my own.

You call this okay?

Look at you.

Your hands are shaking.

We've got the Na Byeong-sun couple down as suicides,

and Keum Seok-jung as dying of acute sepsis.

Very well.

Sir, there's one thing.

Keum Seo-hee saw Keum Seok-jung's body.

Will that be all right?

She saw the dead body?

Yes, sir.

She came to the interrogation room with Hideo out of the blue.

With Hideo?

Yes, sir.

I told her he died of septic shock.

But since she saw it,

if Yoo Philip hears about it,

it could turn into a big problem like the Kyeam-ri incident.

Back then, a foreign reporter got word out to the foreign press,

and that's how we ended up in court.

Things are already complicated with Manchuria,

and Westerners won't stop talking.

I'm afraid

they'll start digging up Kyeam-ri all over again--

Fukuda.

Yes, sir.

Keum Seok-jung died of an illness during interrogation.

What does that have to do with Yoo Philip?

My mistake, sir.

I got confused for a moment.

On another note,

did you know Keum is a rare family name?

Pardon?

Call the Suwon Police Station.

Have them find Keum Seok-jung's personal records and send them over.

There should be a record

from 13 years ago.

Yes, sir.

Keum Seok-jung.

Keum Seo-hee.

What?

You're lonely?

Koharu, how can I say that here?

I told you I'm at work.

What?

I said I can't.

I really can't.

Why won't you stop?

You're so silly.

We're here.

Thank you…

for bringing me home.

How am I supposed to tell her?

Ms. Keum.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm fi…

No.

I'm not.

100 DAYS OF DECEPTION

I don't belong anywhere anyway.

Why?

Have you had a change of heart since coming to Joseon?

Ms. Keum, you're a good person.

Look into Keum Seo-hee's record. Her past, all of it. Leave nothing out.

What happened in the past?

He should have been given a proper trial.

I have no regrets.

Could it be Kyeam-ri?

-A family photo? -Ms. Keum?

What is that

in your hand?
